2003 / 2004 Methamphetamine Environmental Assessment

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C.
§ 4321, et al.), the COPS Office prepared an environmental assessment for the
2003 Methamphetamine program. A finding of no significant impact was issued in
2003 for the Methamphetamine program based on the environmental assessment.

The environmental assessment determined that the potential impact to the
human environment resulting from the cleanup of clandestine laboratories under
the Methamphetamine program is not significant based on grant recipients'
cleanup of such laboratories in accordance with all applicable federal, state,
and local regulatory requirements. Grant recipients' adherence to all applicable
health, safety, and environmental laws and regulations in executing the cleanup
of clandestine laboratories was determined to mitigate any possible adverse
environmental impacts resulting from such activities. As explained in the
environmental assessment, the COPS Office requires that grant recipients that
receive federal funding for the cleanup of clandestine laboratories use grant
funds to effect the proper removal, disposal, and storage of hazardous materials
located at clandestine laboratories and directly associated sites in accordance
with all applicable laws and regulations.

The 2003 environmental assessment is current and accurate since the
underlying science upon which it was based has not changed. Therefore, the COPS
Office has adopted the 2003 Methamphetamine environmental assessment and finding
of no significant impact for the 2004 Methamphetamine program.
